33/ ♥♥......Just A Thought......♥♥

ƸӜƷ... “A wealthy father decided to show his seven-year-old son how the ‘poor people’ lived. They drove from their big home in the city to a little farm in the country where this friend and his ‘poor’ family lived.

“They spent the night with the family in their little wood-framed house. They had no television, no fancy furniture, and no carpet. Since there was no entertainment in the house, this family sat out on the front porch, where they sang, told stories, and laughed together.

“After being there two nights, the wealthy father and son headed back home. The father was very curious to see if his son had learned his intended lesson. So he asked him how he liked it.“The little boy said, ‘Oh, Dad, I really loved it.’“‘Well, son, do you see how poor people can be?’“‘Yes, Dad. I do.’“‘Tell me, what exactly did you learn?’

“‘Well, Dad, I learned that we have one dog at home, and they have four. We have a swimming pool in the middle of our backyard, but they have stream with no end.

We have fancy lanterns on our house, but they have the stars. We watch TV by ourselves at night, but they sit around as a family and have fun."

“His dad shook his head, knowing that his plan had backfired.

“But then his son added: ‘Dad, thank you so much for showing me how poor we really are.’” – Joel Osteen...ƸӜƷ
